Warning! This put up incorporates SPOILERS for VisionQuest episodes 1 and a pair of.
The MCU’s long-awaited new present, VisionQuest, has lastly premiered with the primary two episodes now streaming on Disney+, and along with myriad different twists and divulges, the present might have simply confirmed the destiny of none aside from Wanda Maximoff. Wanda/the Scarlet Witch died in Physician Unusual within the Multiverse of Insanity, however that hasn’t stopped years of rampant fan hypothesis that she would someday return. Though many stay satisfied that this return will happen in Avengers: Doomsday, as VisionQuest turned nearer, an increasing number of followers have been satisfied that she would as a substitute make her comeback on the present. No such return occurs within the first two episodes, sadly.
Even worse information for these hoping to see Elizabeth Olsen’s Wanda within the MCU once more sometime, the primary episode appeared to substantiate that this fan-favorite character had in reality died—one thing that has been closely debated inside the fanbase, even now. Particularly, within the first episode of VisionQuest, Imaginative and prescient explains that Wanda was crushed by the load of a mountain, seemingly referencing Wanda’s ultimate act of pulling Mount Wundagore down upon herself. With that, it appeared as if Imaginative and prescient was confirming her dying. But, there may be some extent of complexity to this even now, as one of many antagonists of the sequence, Paladin, goes on to inform Imaginative and prescient that every time the phrases witch, hex, or spell are concerned, one thing survives. Now, that remark has drawn Wanda’s destiny into query as soon as once more.
The MCU has been toying with audiences concerning Wanda’s destiny since, basically, that mountain got here down on prime of her. Already, Agatha All Alongside had the same connection to and reflection on Wanda, with Billy Maximoff at one level straight asking Agatha if Wanda was actually lifeless, at which level Agatha stated sure, no, and possibly. Sadly, that’s principally how each MCU mission has handled the potential of Wanda’s survival, and that appears to incorporate VisionQuest. It appeared, at first, like Imaginative and prescient’s feedback about Wanda have been meant to substantiate that she really is lifeless. But, Paladin’s point out of one thing surviving implies that this nonetheless isn’t sure, even now. Nevertheless, there’s a completely different clarification for this line as properly, and it possible gained’t be almost as thrilling to those that are hoping to see Wanda once more.
Specifically, it’s most definitely that the one thing that survived, on this case, was Tommy (and Billy, though he hasn’t but appeared within the present, if he’s going to take action). In any case, the twins had fairly actually and, frankly, miraculously, managed to outlive the destruction of the Hex, and the present facilities partly on Tommy. That doesn’t mechanically imply that Wanda isn’t alive, although. Paladin’s feedback might have been about Tommy, nevertheless it’s clear that VisionQuest remains to be protecting the door open for Wanda, simply as so many tasks now have. It’s only a ready recreation to see whether or not she’s going to truly finally return, both in VisionQuest or in another upcoming present or film, be it Doomsday or one thing else.
